Chapter 538: Escape
Jiang Kaixu continued, "I ran on the wilderness, and my heart was full of fear and anxiety. Although I managed to escape from imprisonment, I knew that the Lion King would not let me go so easily, and he would definitely send more monsters to hunt me down. So I had to keep a low profile as much as possible and avoid all possible tracking."
"I hid in thorny jungles, in rivers high and deep, in dark and cold caves. I tried my best to get to that place as quickly as possible, a place where I could receive a signal and send a distress message. I knew that would be the only way to save me from this situation."
"It's hard for the birds to travel because of the rain, so it's possible! Least chance to chase soldiers! I braved the rain for an unknown amount of time, hiding and hiding, stopping and walking all the way. Finally, the rain stopped."
"The moon hung high in the night sky, and the light shone through the sparse clouds on the slippery ground. I was exhausted and under extreme stress, both physically and mentally. But I knew I couldn't stop, I had to keep going, and only then would I be able to escape."
"I felt like I was getting close to that place, the place where I could pick up the signal. It only takes a little more to hold on and I can send out a distress message. I look forward to finally being able to escape this terrible place and return to the human world. In my mind, that would be the most important step in my life."
"This far-flung journey was much more difficult than I had imagined. I don't know how long I've been running, a day, a night, or a few weeks? My heart was filled with anxiety and anticipation. I was expecting to hear the sound of the sea, which would be the signal for me to approach my target. And yet, it was as if the voice had been running away from me, and it never rang in my ears." As he spoke, Jiang Kaixu sighed.
"And the demon beasts chased by the Lion King are getting closer and closer, and they follow them like messengers of death. I dodge them as best I can, and only when I can't avoid them will I use all my strength to drive them away. I knew I couldn't let them find out where I really was, or I wouldn't be alive."
"It's unbearable to live in such extreme conditions. I'm often hungry, but I have to pick up fruits and leaves, strawberries and wild vegetables, or tear raw flesh from the monsters I have slain. I was afraid of starting a fire to attract attention, so I had to swallow the food raw and endure the nausea and pain in it."
My clothes were shabby and could not effectively protect against the cold wind and rain, so I had to find as much shelter as I could and huddle in a corner. Although the body is exhausted, the spirit cannot be relaxed in the slightest. I know that the slightest negligence can cost me my life."
"I was on the run in this almost dehumanized state, and every day was filled with the fear of life and death. But I still persisted, because I knew that only by persevering could I survive and hope to return to human society and my friends. Every time I think of this, my heart is filled with strength, and I will grit my teeth and endure all the hardships and hardships to continue on that seemingly endless path of escape."
"In the midst of those days and nights of hard running, hunger and fear, I finally heard the long-awaited sound of the waves. The voice was like the song of an angel and gave me a glimmer of hope. However, there is a forest in front of me, and I have to go to the coastline on the other side of the forest."
"But I felt my life in danger, and I knew that if I didn't find food or get help soon, I probably wouldn't be able to make it through this last stretch. And in this forest, there may already be a lot of demon beasts sent by the lion king here ready to cut off their beards and take me down. And my hunger is not enough to sustain me in the fight."
"At this point, the signal on my phone was already there, which also gave me a glimpse of the light of day. I climbed the cave halfway up the mountain, calmed down, and began to send a distress message. I described my situation, including my current position, my own condition, and the other person's first aid situation. I'm not sure if this message will reach the humans of the Eastern Continent, but I know that this is my only chance."
"I lay on my back in the cave, almost completely unconscious from hunger and exhaustion. But I remained awake and kept an eye on my phone for a response. Every time my phone vibrates, my heart beats faster, and I look forward to the rescue
Coming."
"However, help didn't come as quickly as I had hoped. My strength deteriorated, my throat ached like it had been burned by fire, and everything in front of me became more and more blurry. I don't know how long I can hold out, I can only pray silently in my heart that help will come soon."
"Finally, just when I was about to pass out, you finally came. I felt a trickle of water moisten my throat in my coma, my life revived again, and I finally came through this hell gate."
Saying that, Jiang Kaixu sighed, then smiled again, and then said: "Although I don't know how long I've lived here, I know that for my survival chips, I haven't completely detoxified the Lion King, and I have left him a root, it is estimated that it won't be long before the Lion King will relapse, even if the poison doesn't kill him, I will torture him to death!"
Looking at this embarrassed person, Ye Ning couldn't help frowning. Jiang Kaixu's appearance at the moment is undoubtedly a huge blow to his decency and self-esteem. Except for a few rags, there was no other cover on his body, and his whole body could be said to be unclothed. Such a scene made Ye Ning's heart mixed.
He took out a set of clean clothes from his backpack and handed it to Jiang Kaixu. Ye Ning looked at him with extreme respect and gently told him that it might be better to replace these.
When Jiang Kaixu took over the clothes, his expression was obviously much softer, and the warm clothes brought him not only material comfort, but also spiritual comfort. He carefully changed into the outfit, and his face gradually softened.
After changing into new clothes, he looked much more energetic. He looked at Ye Ning, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, since it's already dark, let's rest all night and go home." You can tell other rescuers so they don't have to look for them."
Ye Ning's gaze looked directly at Jiang Kaixu, firm and calm, without a trace of hesitation. The tone of the response was calm and assured: "There are no other rescuers, just me."
Jiang Kaixu's eyes widened as big as copper bells, and his surprise seemed to make his body tremble slightly. He looked at Ye Ning incredulously, and said with disbelief in his voice, "How is it possible? With such a large island and such a weak distress signal, how could it be possible to send you alone? And this island is full of powerful demon beasts, with your strength, how can you participate in the rescue team, let alone you! Are all the people in the leadership crazy?"
His words revealed concern and concern for Ye Ning, and he almost remorsefully concealed his surprise. In his eyes, Ye Ning was just a young man, and his strength was not yet able to compete with those demon beasts on the island. To undertake such a major rescue mission, and to go alone, is undoubtedly a crazy decision in his opinion.
But this is the truth, Ye Ning came here like this, standing in front of him, alone, and successfully found him.
Ye Ning chuckled and looked at Jiang Kaixu, his smile was full of confidence and firmness, "You have been missing for fifteen years, and I am not the young man I was fifteen years ago. I'm a true S-class powerhouse right now, and I'm at the top of the human ranks. The main thing is that I have been to the Western Continent, I know the local natives, and with their guidance I can quickly find you. And there are many people with mixed eyes, and I come alone."
Ye Ning's voice was clear and steady, revealing a tough masculinity. Every word he says is explaining to Jiang Kaixu his hard work and growth over the years, as well as his confidence in his own strength.
Listening to Ye Ning's words, Jiang Kaixu was shocked. He looked at the young man in front of him who had grown up, had a mature appearance, and had outstanding strength, and was full of emotion in his heart: "Fifteen years, fifteen years have passed!"
He confided in his heart, with a little remorse and helplessness in his voice, but more surprise and excitement: "I really didn't misunderstand you at the beginning, I knew that you would definitely be able to get ahead among the supernatural!"
Jiang Kaixu's words were full of admiration and respect, and it was obvious that he was very pleased with Ye Ning's growth. He looked at Ye Ning, his eyes full of affirmation and pride. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of that young Ye Ning, who had now become an S-level powerhouse, and his strength was among the top
Mao, and he is more pleased and looking forward to such a result.
"If your father is still alive, he will be glad to see that you are better than blue." Jiang Kaixu leaned against the wall and said slowly, "If he is still alive, he is probably stronger than me."
Ye Ning was also very emotional, he still didn't know what kind of person his father was. But apparently now is not the time to talk about this, nor is it the time to say what he has done on the Eastern Continent. Ye Ning could feel that Jiang Kaixu still had an obvious hatred for those demon beasts, and as for what Ye Ning had done on the Eastern Continent, let's go back and talk about it.
Ye Ning looked outside the cave, it was already late, so he said, "Don't think about it so much, I'll stand guard today, you can rest and sleep." Tomorrow morning, we'll leave for home."
